FAREWELL DUBAI AND THANK YOU EMIRATES. HELLO DUBLIN AND AER LINGUS.

Thanks to all IASS 2016 participants, sponsors, and exhibitors who made this year’s summit so successful. FSF is pleased to report that attendance topped last year’s IASS in Miami Beach and early survey returns indicate very positive results. Special thanks go to members of the Agenda Development Committee, and our hosts at Emirates, especially Capt. Henry Donohoe, Divisional Senior Vice President, Flight Operations; Capt. Mark Burtonwood, Senior Vice President, Group Safety; and Ms. Tanya Eddowes, Promotions and Training Manager. The passion for safety that was so evident in Dubai will certainly continue next year as FSF partners with Aer Lingus to bring you the 70th IASS, October 23-25, 2017, in Dublin, Ireland.

Despite the presence of enhanced ground proximity warning and other systems, the technological advances offered by modern avionics are not always recognized fully along with crew training, crew resource management and standard operating procedures. The final day of IASS 2016 will include a presentation on next-generation flight safety systems by Dr. Ratan Khatwa, senior chief engineer for human factors at Honeywell Aerospace.
